Probiotics are the living beneficial bacteria that support our digestive, vaginal and urinary tracts. Most debilitating and degenerative diseases start in the intestinal tract. Beneficial bacteria are the body's primary deterrent against undesirable, disease-causing bacteria.

Natren makes the finest, most highly potent probiotic products in the world. Natren produces only probiotics. Their products are developed specifically for human supplementation.

When you select Natren you're in good company as leading medical universities direct inquiries on probiotics to them. Natren has the largest library in the world on the subject of probiotics and their founder and president Natasha Trenev is a renowned expert on probiotics. Natren is recognised world-wide as the leader in the field of probiotics and their standard of quality has now been established as the industry quality assurance standard and was read into USA congressional record. When you choose Natren's powders or capsules, you are getting the most effective system available to help support a healthy digestive tract and body.

While the use of probiotics (beneficial bacteria) is not new, it is an idea whose time has definitely come. Many of the "bugs" that are in our air, our food and our water have become antibiotic-resistant "super bacteria". That's why we're seeing a dramatic increase in intestinal disorders and vaginal irregularities. Probiotics means "for life" and antibiotics means "against life". Today, a person who undergoes a course of antibiotic treatment may find themselves perpetually exhausted because the antibiotics leave a strain of resistant bacteria which become the dominant bacteria. In this instance the re-establishment of beneficial bacteria is a primary objective. The beneficial bacteria is the foundation necessary to build the house of good health. Good health begins on the inside. Within each of us the beneficial bacteria keep us healthy by keeping the digestive tract balanced, helping to process our nutrients, and produce important vitamins as well as increasing the bioavailability of minerals.

Which Natren product is right for me?

In order to accommodate all 9 to 11 metres (27 to 33 feet) of intestinal tract, Natren developed different products to target each individual area. The different uses for each product are explained, however this can be confusing if you are not familiar with the various types of bacteria needed to remain healthy. For that reason, we have pharmacists and pharmacy technicians ready to answer any questions you may have.

StrainAll Natren products only use super strains of bacteria. Lesser strains have been proven to be weaker and less effective for humans.

SupernatantAll of Natren's bacteria are grown and maintained in a culturing medium known as the supernatant. Studies indicate bacteria with the supernatant are more effective by up to 50 %. The supernatant is a ready source of nourishment for the micro-organisms and also allows them to survive in gastric juice. Unlike Natren products, most other probiotic brands are centrifuged. Products that are centrifuged or ultra-filtered are stripped of virtually all of their supernatant. This leaves cells bare, without a buffer for the gastric juices. It also strips them of their natural antimicrobial defences and food, which is necessary to keep them active once they reach the intestinal tract.

Guarantee at ConsumptionNatren products guarantee potency through the date of product expiration. Other brands may only guarantee potency at the time of manufacture, often this is months before the time of ingestion.
